Royal Blood Sound - Making Power Chords with Boss PS6
Музыка
Long awaited, and finally uploaded! This is how I create power chords using the Boss PS6 for my Royal Blood covers and more! The video goes to demonstrate setup, pedals and an explanation to why this video has taken so long to be released!

Hi, I'm Adam Flanagan, a musician from London, UK. I've been playing for 20+ years and I have been making my mark as a professional guitarist/bassist all over the country. I also teach guitar & compose music for a number of companies.
On my channel you'll find covers played on guitar (fingerstyle, eletric guitar & exam pieces) as well as bass guitar (including my royal blood covers). I also give some tutorials on the instruments, performance tips and plenty more. I'm always open for suggestions, so if there's anything you'd like me to feature then please don't hesitate to let me know! Thanks for watching!

My brain is fucking exploding from how well you made all this work.
Thanks mate!! Super clear and concise. Much appreciated. Cheers!
This is a great review!
Maybe something like the EHX PitchFork or the DigiTech Ricochet will do a better job with the harmonizing fifths.
Cant wait for a hog2 royal blood cover man!!It will truly help me pick what to get.Would you suggest getting a hog2 for a royal blood kind of sound + the octaved 5th where it's needed, or a pog2 fed to a pitchfork(tracking/noise/latency/overall tone wise)??
Thanks so much Adam! Now i wanna hear that HOG2 lol. Good video!

So do I need to run the PS-6 before of after my dirt pedals? I'm guessing the PS-6 is in front of the dirt pedals only going by it appears your using the built-in dirt tone on your guitar amp on this video? Thanks again for any feedback, I know your busy.

Hey there. Very good video man. Just a question: don't you need to use a nose gate?
Hi Adam, awesome sound! Could you please explain your settings on the EH H.O.G.2? Cheers!
Adam, thanks for the new video. I noticed the wobbly effect on the pitch shifter too. Thanks--now I know it isn't just me or a wonky PS-6. Lastly, what settings are you using on the POG-2 for the octave up?
@adamflanaganmusic

No worries, glad the video helped. The POG2 is just the +1 Octave all the way up, all other octaves/dry signal all the way down, attack & detune all the way down, and the HP filter up to taste (not maxed out)
Hi Adam. i got an overdrive-distorion link to a harmonist ps6 this go to the guitar amp, and then the tuner to the bass amp. But sometimes happens that the harmonist mute the bass, and the tuner is off (the bass suposed to sound), why is this happening? can you help me? thank you very much bro!
Worth it to use a switching system like a boss es-5?
Que pasara si usas también el pedal MXR M116 fullbore metal distortion en tu configuración?
Thanks for these vids, they give me some great ideas for my setup. I was hoping you could answer a question though... I've got a similar setup, I go from a TC Sub n Up into a PS6 then a homemade overdrive pedal (the overdrive sounds great on its own). My 'guitar' loop sounds a bit organy for some reason rather than like a guitar. Any pointers on where to go? I'm wondering if my post harmonizer fx need tweaking.

old comment but my chain is this bass - tuner - basspreamp/eq - micropog - big muff - boss ns2 - guitar amp in my experience fuzz is better than OD at masking the 'digital' organ like sound you get from a octaver
Hi, how do you create the distortion for the simulatie gitar sound? Greetings, Nout
I'm currently working on a prototype stompbox to give me a guitar buddy to play with. A 3 in one. Octave up, then a 5th, and distortion all in 1.

Doesnt Mike actually use this for making the sound go really high pitched but in a slower way. E.g. Hook, Line & Sinker or She's Creeping?

There should be a setting for chromatic or modal harmony. Especially being that you're only primarily using 5ths. Great video though!

He addressed the modes question when he played You Really Got Me in G mixolydian, so he set the key on the pedal to C major. The pitch shift setting is meant to deal with chromatic harmony, although this feature didn't get a good wrap in the review.
How would you connect the boss ps-6 into two amps in reference to the royal blood super bend which mike uses and he has it the pedal connected to both amps?

Is possible switch the POG pedal for a Whammy in this case?
@adamflanaganmusic
2 жыл бұрын
You could, but the POG is a winner for having such a clear result in terms of generating that octave note. So there’s no/incredibly low wobble, so once distortions are added, it just sounds like a guitar note. This is going off experience with a whammy 4, so could be different with a 5, or any of the off-shoot pedals Digitech have created.
Can you achieve a power chord sound with just the harmonist pedal itself?
@JasperKloek

Yes, but it will be low down in the bass range, where it can easily sound muddy. The power chords in this video are higher up,in guitar range.

A bass power chord yes but you need the pog or an octave up pedal with the harmonist to get the fake guitar power chord sound.
Why do you use two octaver pedals?

It's never going to sound exactly like a guitar. With noodling around with distortion fuzz or overdrive pedals you can improve it quite a bit. An eq as well. I'm still trying to get mine where I like it. It's a work in progress.

I use a pretty similar setup and the pog lets you have the dry out and the effect out. The dry goes to the bass amp and the effects go to the guitar. How would you get a dry bass sound with another?

Check out the band’s live covers of Happy and Roxanne, you’ll hear the effect in action during the Chorus sections. It’s subtle, yet effective.
For G-D'' s sake what is it with you young people and distortion?? I expected the harmonizing thingy to be featured. But it's overridden with this fuzzy business. Not to take away from your genre; to each his own however a clean absolutely pristine bass and the harmonizing pedal is what I expected. I going to Warp now
